solid steering column

[rooster57]

This has been done before im sure. Anyway i installed my new stainless column from speed way then my new 1/2 wrap steering wheel with the trick ford horn button. HORN Button this is a solid column no wires allowed. well i will put the horn button down on the front of the seat support with everything else. But i couldnt get that darn horn button on the column off my mind. Then it came to me like a lightning bolt or maby it was just gas anyway the next morning i went to Lowes and picked up a keychain garage door remote cracked it open soldered on 2 wires to the button then dropped it into the wheel adapter void and shazam when i push the horn the door opens. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut from time to time

Now to add to the enjoyment of cruising in your T you can drive around seeing if you can open other peoples garage door. there have to be some with the same frequency.

When I was stationed in Oklahoma in the early 80s my house was on final approach to one of the runways. Just about every time a jet flew over my garage door would open. The next jet would close it. It was a pilot training base so it happened a lot. A doppler radar thing or something. I had to disable the opener until I could get to Sears and buy some new bits to change the frequency.

It'd also be really cool is to hide a transmitter in the void just like you did, but then have a receiver attached to a relay that engages the horn... You'd have everyone stumped as to how you wired the horn on a solid shaft without any exposed wiring!
